<p>Does rust have any minimum supported version of openbsd, freebsd, etc.? For the tier 1 platforms, the platform support page provides versions, but the tier 2 platforms mostly don't.</p>

<p>Context: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78572">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78572</a>  wants to use something that was introduced in netbsd in july 2018, but the CI seems to be using a netbsd toolchain from march 2018.</p>

<p>Ah, apparently the libc crate does already support what this PR needs, regardless of toolchain version. So not really a problem in this case. But I'd still be interested in the policy for which versions of tier 2 systems to support.</p>
